Veronica Donovan

Veronica Donovan and Lincoln Burrows are as different as chalk and cheese. However growing up together and sharing their lives gave enough common ground for them to fall in love. Despite Lincoln being a high school dropout, Veronica still dated him even though she attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where she received a B.A. in political science, and also had a juris doctorate from Baylor Law School. Even though she was a real estate lawyer, she defended Michael in his trial as she had been a surrogate mother/sister to him during their childhood. ?You?ve been good to me Veronica,? Michael quotes. Being engaged to another man, Veronica cut ties with Lincoln and assumed that he was guilty. But after a series of events, Veronica then realised that Lincoln was actually innocent and immersed herself in proving his innocence, despite the fact that his execution was only a few weeks away. Not being familiar in criminal law, she asked Project Justice for help but was turned away. However, Nick Savrinn offered to help her and with his help, she eventually found Terence Steadman in Blackfoot, Montana. Veronica and Nick were not able to elude the secret service however, and were almost killed several times, but never backed down from their goal of proving Lincoln?s innocence. Veronica learned the hard way not to trust anyone. After helping her through out the whole way, Nick turned out to be hired by Abruzzi to keep an eye on her and have her ?ready and waiting? as a hostage. In the end though, Nick showed his true nobility by letting Veronica go and telling her to go to Blackfoot alone.
